Donald Macleod takes a whirl around the world through the music of ballroom dancing as we count down to Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Radio 3's Day of Dance on Friday 8th November. With the help of Hilary French, author of Ballroom: A People's History of Dancing, Donald waltzes across Viennese ballrooms, foxtrots through New York clubs, tries the tango in the arrabales of Buenos Aires, sambas on the streets of Salvador and finally cha-cha-chas his way to Havana.
